Credentialing

Four General

Statements1. Our focus is on how we can give people credit for the acquisition of Green Building Knowledge in general, and LEED Specific knowledge in particular.

2. Educational activities should reflect relevance, quality, and rigor.

3. The bodies of knowledge carved out by the GBCI Test Specifications on one side, and LEED Credits and Intents on the other side, share space, but are not fully harmonized at any given time. Both are evolving in their own ways.

4. We believe that when LEED professionals participate in the administrative part of maintaining a LEED credential it helps to embed the knowledge the credential represents.
